Mozilla team-up with Tor to improve internet privacy

The Russia Today website reports that Mozilla are teaming up with Tor to provide increased internet security by allowing Firefox browser users to easily access the Tor network.

Undertaken as part of the so called Polaris project, it aims to significantly improve internet privacy as well as combating internet censorship.

The article highlights that although internet privacy is often a topic of conversation, it is yet to go mainstream; with many ordinary computer users put off by perceived complexity. However, Mozilla hope the Polaris project will help to change these stereotypes.
